Step 3 Customize the extensions.conf

1. Check the /etc/asterisk/extensions.conf by command vi /etc/asterisk/extensions.conf, and find out the context [default] using the command /[Local_Default_CallingRules] in vi editor command mode, then copy all the content of the context [default] to a notepad.

It looks like this,

[Local_Default_CallingRules] include = sla_stations include = reset_followme include = enable_followme_always include = disable_followme_always include = enable_followme_noanswer include = disable_followme_noanswer include = enable_followme_busy include = disable_followme_busy include = enable_dnd include = disable_dnd include = vmm include = en-force-to-outside include = dis-force-to-outside include = en-force-to-inside include = force-to-businesshours include = parkedcalls include = conferences include = ringgroups include = ivrs include = queues include = voicemailgroups include = pagegroups include = page_an_extension include = pickup_extension include = speeddial include = exten_dial_config include = extension-white-and-black-outbound include = inrouter_feature_dest include = emergency-number include = default
